Add native model manager option to audio build configuration

- Introduced `native_model_manager` option in `audio_build_options.py` to enable WebUI downloads and UI management.
- Updated `AudioCppBuildConfig` and `AudioCppManager` to handle the new configuration option in CMake arguments.
- Modified tests to validate the inclusion of `native_model_manager` in build options and CMake argument generation.
- Updated frontend configuration to reflect the new build option for consistency across the application.
